EVERYONE PANIC!!

 

[B.K.]

Yellowstone is overdue for an eruption, isn't it? It's been a while since I've seen any specials about the supervolcano there.

 

[The Lamonster]

Wouldn't said eruption, like, be the end of North America?

 

[ZeoVGM]

I hope Steve is okay.


RAAAAAMOOOOOONE, EARTHQUAKES SUCK.

 

[Pimpwerx]

I'll be fine. I live in Florida. PEACE.

 

[MetatronM]

More like 22 earthquakes in the last 36 hours or so. But still bad. :lol


Interesting that they're almost all in the exact same place too. And definitely right under the caldera.

EVERYONE PANIC!!

If I remember Dante's Peak correctly, this thing is going to blow soon!

Could be. Better start looting now just to be safe.

I wonder when Roland Emmerich will announce the movie.

I hear ya, brother

 

[Kipz]

I live in australia and even I'm worried. The amount of ash a supervolcanic eruption causes ruins food supplies all over the world.

Does anyone know how many small quakes it normally has? If it was that much to worry about I think we'd know. There would be a few more people than GAF'ers monitoring it.

 

[kozmo7]

I hear ya, brother

I do too.. but if that coldera collapsed, wouldn't that kill us all?

Man.. I already obsess and worry about enough stuff. :lol

 

[Quazar]

curious as well

Pretty sure it has earthquakes daily, nothing to worry bout.

start to worry a bit more, pulled this off wiki (I think we can take this one as fact considering I don't think anyone goes out of their way to deface the "Caldera" article :lol)

"When Yellowstone Caldera last erupted some 640,000 years ago, it released about 1,000 km3 of dense rock equivalent (DRE) material, covering a substantial part of North America in up to two metres of debris."

or check out Supervolcano a docudrama.

 

[Femmeworth]

The earthquakes are coming from inside the park!!!

The earthquakes want to lull you into a false sense of security.

I'm sure we could just bury it in debris before it all goes out.

 

[Mindlog]

I'd love to go there and start throwing M-80s all over the place.

do it, do it, do it ah hell, it's doin it

 

[Rewrite]

I'm scared. Someone hold me!

 

[MetatronM]

Considering the last earthquake before the batch in the last day or so was on the 22nd, I'd say that's not true.

It seems like it has periodic clusters of earthquakes, though, and that the frequency in general has been increasing over the last couple years.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Well, so much for plans of moving to the southwest. :X

 

[Garcia]

Holy fucking shit. I knew that we already had pretty much overlapped the mandatory 500k/600k years between the last caldera eruption, but this is shocking.

Also:

I'm curious as well. Maybe this isn't quite relevant?

I wanna think that way really.

 

[Ether_Snake]

GAF will not be the first to find out if it is significant. Go back to bed.

Pretty much what I've been able to find.

 

[grandjedi6]

This is relatively normal in the broad scheme of things

Wouldn't said eruption, like, be the end of North America?

For the most part, yes.

I'll be fine. I live in Florida. PEACE.

No

 

[the_zombie_luke]

http://www.yellowstone.net/earthquakes.htm

From 1,000 to 3,000 earthquakes typically occur each year within Yellowstone National Park and its immediate surroundings.

 

[Garcia]

There it is.

Cool.

 

[Chichikov]

It will take more than a supervolcano to fix Florida.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Let's see how those fucking hippies feel about saving the Earth when the Earth is spraying molten lava all over your face like some porno gone horribly wrong. :lol

[Drozmight]

Oh man. OH MAN! OOOOOOOHHHHH MANNNNN!!!

 

[kozmo7]

Well, I guess if the quakes were big enough we should worry but they seem to be really tiny, unless I am reading the map wrong.

 

[perfectchaos007]

And you see I thought Florida would be the end of America, not the least populated state that no one cares about. WE CARE NOW WYOMING! LOOK WE MADE YOU A STATE QUARTER!!

 

[giga]

Oh man. OH MAN! OOOOOOOHHHHH MANNNNN!!!

oh god
oh MAN

OOOH GOD

 

[Garcia]

Mostly small quakes. IIRC just 5 or 6 went above 3.0 richter.

 

[Scarecrow]

Just another factor that spells doom for the world on 2012.

 

[half a moon]

http://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Maps/123-39.html 20-30 small ones around an in The Geysers, CA in the past 24 hours.

228 if you count back toward the 22nd. http://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Maps/123-39_full.html

 

[Phoenix]

Damn racist planet - just had to wait for the black man to get into office - didn't ya!

2012 oh no!

One word : SUPERVOLCANO, and if that's it, it won't just be Cali that's screwed

Yep, cause if someone who happens to be a God-fearing Christian and lives a few miles from Yellowstone and is instantly killed in the event of a SuperVolcano scenario, that all fits with that bible verse, right?

 

[wenis]

so what happens if you don't believe in that campfire tale? will you not be affected?

this comes to mind:
Paul Anka: To stop those monsters 1-2-3,
Here's a fresh new way that's trouble-free,
It's got Paul Anka's guarantee...
Lisa: Guarantee void in Tennessee.
All: Just don't look! Just don't look!

Maybe i should have posted
this one
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (II Timothy 1:7

 

[Everdred]

Or maybe you should have posted none?

 

[NintendoTogepi]

Uh oh!

Well, at where I am, it probably wouldn't kill us, just drop temperatures significantly, give us 2-4 inches of ash and cause mass chaos, power outages, and food shortages. That's not so bad :lol

C'mon, I'm religious, but you know that's not a good idea to post those here.
